REm
we escape from the house
LAm
as the day dissapears from the sky
Into night
DO
we bacame what we wanted to be
SOL LAm
like a dream or a ghost
REm
i collapse out of turn
near a house
LAm
lying still in the grass and felt the heat from the ground
DO SOL LAm
rising up to contract and expand like a breath
REm
we escape from that place
LAm
soaked with sweat and the poison we drank
DO
fill the bathtub with ice, hope this fever will break
SOL
like a heart
LAm
easily
REm SOL
but i do not recall all the words that were formed
LAm
on those wire lips as they greeted me
REm SOL LAm
a promise was made witout thought as the temperature climbed
REm SOL
and i started to sink like the moon
LAm MI DO MIm SOL
tends to do if you stare at it too long
MI LAm
then you blink and it's gone
DO SOL LAm
and we crawl to our sleep with the dawn
Dm Am repeated with "isn't it the same mistake"
REm LAm
i awake in the light feeling hollow and selfishly warm
DO
close the blinds and retreat until what's burning is gone
SOL LAm
and it's light is away
REm
the we are back in the dark
LAm
chasing nothing through backyards and trees
DO
you ripped your shirt on a fence but it didn't get me
SOL
yeah it's fear
LAm
it makes you so low
REm
and these creatures look crooked
LAm
their shadows cut lines through my face and the concrete is fire
DO
where my bare feet are placed
SOL LAm
in a line next to yours
REm SOL
and i guess i'm not sure if it was fear that was born
LAm
as those awful eyes made their claim on us
REm
i put my hands on the fence
SOL
said your name
LAm
and i started to climb
REm SOL
and it must have been sweat but i drank it like wine
LAm MI DO MIm SOL
it was sweet, my mouth was dry
MI LAm
i heard you scream but i made no reply
DO SOL LAm
i can still taste it now if i try
